Having created your scores, you’ll need to store them on your web server where
they can be accessed by our servers.
When it is time to publish your scores then you’ll
refer to each score by it’s URL.
Media / mime types
It’s important you serve your score files with the correct media type:
| File extension | Description | Required media type |
|---|---|---|
.sco |
Encrypted Sibelius score | application/x-sibelius-score |
.sib |
Sibelius score | application/x-sibelius-score |
.mxl |
Compressed MusicXML | application/vnd.recordare.musicxml |
.xml |
Uncompressed MusicXML | application/vnd.recordare.musicxml+xml |
.pdf |
application/pdf |
Note: media type is the same thing as mime type or content type - the terms
are effectively synonymous, so don’t let that confuse you!
